You could be forgiven for feeling a real sense of deja vu at Waratahs Sportsground last weekend as Newcastle Wanderers claimed their second consecutive Orange City Rugby Invitational 10s triumph, one again accounting for Aidan Brice All Stars in the final. The two sides faced off in 2018's decider as well, but where Wanderers were forced to score a last-ditch try to win last year's final 20-19 the powerhouse Newcastle club did it easily on Saturday afternoon, putting on a show to win by 31 points. Wanderers made light work of the composite, largely Orange-based memorial side - who won the tournament in 2016 - winning the final 36-5 after shooting to a 24-nil lead by half-time.
